Why do I need this bond?

Motor fuel and special fuel tax bonds ensure that principals (fuel handlers) comply with all the provisions of motor fuel tax laws in Kansas - such as paying taxes and other fees. If a principal fails to fulfill these terms, a claim can be made against the bond to recover owed funds.

What’s the fine print?

The Kansas Department of Revenue maintains three separate bond forms - one for each motor fuel designation (distributor, importer/exporter, or manufacturer). The principal’s business structure and street address must be listed on the form. If the bond is to be canceled, the surety must provide at least 60 days notice to the obligee.

How to become a motor vehicle manufacturer, distributor or importer/exporter in Kansas

the name that the applicant intends to transact business under

the mailing address and location address

the company’s Federal Employers Identification Number

the company’s business phone and fax number

and more

There is no fee required to apply. Licenses can be renewed annually before the first day of November. Detailed licensing information can be found in the “Additional Resources” section of this page.
